Briney Causes Chaos For Leather

Britney Spears stormed off an aeroplane shortly before take-off - because her seat was not leather.

The 'Toxic' singer caused chaos when she demanded to be let off a flight from Los Angeles to Florida, causing a one-hour delay for the other passengers.

One passenger, Tony Sanchez, told the News of the World, "It was quite astonishing. The doors had been closed for about ten minutes, everyone was strapped in and the plane was about to taxi to the runway when Britney got up and said she had to get off."

"She just said 'I don't want to fly on this plane. It hasn't got leather seats.' I heard everything but most people were left wondering what was going on, so the captain was forced to make an apology to all the other passengers over the tannoy."

He added added: "It was quite a fiasco but she didn't seem to care about anything except getting off that plane. All the passengers were furious."
